Information on Electric Vehicles
This page provides a reference guide for some of the electric (EV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) vehicles available in Kuwait.
Type of Electric Vehicles
Fully Electric Vehicle
- Source: Powered only by battery electricity
- Engine: Fully electric, without petrol engine
- Charging: AC or DC
- Range: 250 to 500 km depending on battery capacity
- Emissions: Completely Zero
- Ideal Use: Daily Urban Commuting
- Examples: Tesla Model 3، BYD Han EV، Nissan Leaf
Plug-in Hybrid
- Source: Battery + Gasoline Engine
- Engine: Powered by city electricity and fuel on long roads
- Charging: External via AC, or Internal via Motor
- Electric Range: 50 to 100 km
- Emissions: Low when electric driving
- Ideal Use: For Hybrid City and Travel Driving
- Examples: Toyota Prius PHEV، BYD DM-i، Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Range-Extended Electric Vehicle
- Source: Battery + Gasoline Generator
- Motor: Fully electric drive, and the generator only charges the battery
- Charging: External + Internal via Alternator
- Electric range: 100 to 200 km, up to 1000+ km using the generator
- Emissions: Low, because gasoline is not used for propulsion
- Ideal Use: For Anyone Who Wants Electric Driving with Long Range
- Examples: BMW i3 Range Extender، AITO M5، Lixiang L-series
